Of course, in the beginning, it was also thanks to Lin Yao's difficult support that those difficult years passed.
Walking out of the remote alley of his house and onto the street, the pedestrians coming and going made the surrounding air suddenly have a lively atmosphere.
Although this era was very turbulent and life was particularly difficult.
However, the ones who were truly suffering were those at the bottom of society. Those who were in business or had power also lived a luxurious life.
There was a saying that went,"When wine and meat stink, there will be bones frozen to death." This sentence could be said to be vividly reflected here.
They passed by a bustling street. The shops on the street were shouting loudly, as if they were holding some kind of promotion, attracting many people to watch.
Not far away from this shop, there was a group of people gathered together. From time to time, they would whisper to each other as if they were discussing something.
Lin Yu passed by and swept his gaze across the crowd. Through the gaps in the crowd, he could clearly see a starving couple surrounded by the crowd.
He was kneeling on the ground with a little girl who was only three or four years old in his arms. There was a piece of tree bark hanging around his neck. On it, there seemed to be a series of patterns drawn with charcoal. It seemed to be a copper coin.
"Everyone, please do me a favor. My daughter is only three years old this year. She is obedient and sensible. She has good facial features. I beg kind-hearted people to be merciful and give her a meal…"
His voice trembled slightly, and his tone was filled with death and despair.
The little girl at the side seemed to know nothing. She looked at the surrounding crowd and her parents with a confused expression.
Looking at this scene, Lin Yu turned around and did not stop. He continued walking toward the gang's stronghold.
For a person from modern society, this kind of scene seemed a little unbearable, whether it was sympathy or something else.
But so what?
In the past ten years, Lin Yu had seen countless of such things happen. Even if he wanted to help them, he was powerless.
Along the way, there were four or five such incidents on the roadside. Even Lin Yu, who was already used to it, could not help but frown slightly.
Although selling children was a common occurrence, there were too many of them today. It was obviously a little illogical.
The human heart was made of flesh. Even if there was a slight chance, no one would be willing to give up their child.
Lin Yu took note of the situation. After arriving at a slightly secluded street, he came to a residence with a courtyard and gently knocked on the door.
After a short while, the door in front of the door creaked open. One of them poked his head out slightly and glanced at Lin Yu before letting him in.
He walked into the courtyard.
In this small open space, there were more than ten men sitting or standing.
These men were much stronger than the ordinary people outside.
Even though it was already late autumn and the temperature was beginning to reveal traces of winter, these men were half-naked and were doing all kinds of exercises.
Sweat kept dripping down his body, and a faint mist was rising from his body.
No one noticed Lin Yu's arrival, or rather, they did not bother to pay attention to him.
Lin Yu was only sixteen years old. Strictly speaking, he did not meet the selection criteria of the gang at all.
After all, a sixteen-year-old youth, whether in terms of strength or other aspects, was still quite different from a normal adult.
The reason why Lin Yu was able to stay back then was that he was a little surprised that he could persist and was very clever in doing things.
Even in the fight, he had shown his usefulness. Although he had used dirty tricks such as throwing lime and sneak attacks, he was still brave enough to fight.
Even so, Lin Yu's status in the sect was not high at all.
Lin Yu was used to the cold attitude of these sect members. He quietly walked to the corner of the courtyard.
There were many stone locks of different sizes here, starting from 30 jin to 150 jin. There were a total of seven different grades of weight.
Lin Yu stood in front of the 30-pound stone lock and began his training.
Although he now had the ability to use heavier stone locks, there was no need to show off his strength. After all, he was only sixteen years old. This kind of improvement was still a little too shocking.
Lin Yu trained in the morning while secretly preparing to take some time in the afternoon to prepare the materials needed for the bow.
Although this society was very turbulent now, in general, it was the people at the bottom who suffered, and the rest of the order still existed.
Although there were many weapons in many sects, there was no one who could openly sell something like a bow.
Compared to ordinary swords and sabers, the nature of bows was completely different. They were strictly controlled.
Just as he was thinking about this, the morning training time ended. Lin Yu and the gang members in the courtyard also had to start their daily work.
Although it was called work, it was actually just patrolling the streets of his own sect to see if there were any fellows from other sects who came to cause trouble and collect protection fees at the same time.
